They locked up Kemp and gave Kershaw a big raise. Ethier and Loney do need to have big years or they are gone. They didn't make any other big moves aside from almost landing Fielder. And keep an eye on Dee Gordon. He could be the best base stealer since Ricky or Coleman.

Re: LA Dodgers sold to Magic Johnson's group for $2 Billion

Pretty good deal for McCourt. He pays less than 400 million for the club 7 years ago (mostly borrowed money), spends Dodger income money for personal items like multi million dollar houses, gets divorced, runs the franchise into bankruptcy, then walks away with a half billion dollars after his wife and creditors get paid off. Pretty good profit for being incompetent, but as a Dodger fan I'm just glad he'll finally be gone.
